History Lives Carpentry

The quality of the work is excellent and I would certainly use this carpenter again.

Michael did a great job! He was prompt and professional and did impeccable work!

Michael's work is excellent. He isn't the cheapest guy nor most expensive, but he does attempt to work within a budget. But he will not compromise on the work to be done and attempts not to compromise on the historical authenticity of the house. A true professional who loves what he does.

.Unfortunately, I reached out to this provider on three occasions within the last three weeks with very specific information and left my contact information and this provider never had the professional courtesy to at least respond to let me know if either he could or could not take on my project as he was asked to respond accordingly as I was making plans in advance to prepare for the Thanksgiving Holiday. A huge disappointment!

Michael did a very good job and coordinated with the exterminator. He had to cut and fit and paint new cedar siding shingles to fit an angled overhang. When he finished there was no sign there had been repairs made to the area, and I couldn't have expected anything better. He had all his own tools, came to the job on time and ready for work. All I had to do was provide the custom color finish paint.

It went very well, with high quality work on all aspects of the job.

Agreed to come give an estimate for a project. Never showed up, never attempted to reschedule.

Mike was very professional. He showed up on time, kept me informed of all of his progress, and completed the job in a timely manner. He was very informative and walked me through his entire process prior to starting the job. When he ran into unforeseen issues, he would call first to discuss prior to making any changes.

Michael is a true professional carpenter. He is prompt, knowledgeable, neat and honest. He gets and A rating with me.

Michael is very meticulous in his work and clean-up.

Michael does excellent work is meticulous and very professional. His estimates are accurate, he makes great suggestions and is finished product exceeds expectations. We asked him, for example, to install new engineered wood floor in basement. He researched types, made recommendation and it was just perfect. His installation went smoothly. We had one issue that he called manufacturer to resolve, so he went extra mile for us.

We have used History Lives for many years and on many projects at our house, both big and small. Michael, the proprieter, did much of the work himself. He has always been personable, responsive and professional. He keeps things neat, cleaning up every day. The quality of his work has always been excellent. He has very good attention to detail and is creative at solving problems. His prices are reasonable. Over the years, he has really transformed our house into a gem.

Michael reviewed our needs and ideas, provided ideas of his own and we agreed on a design for each of the times he has worked for us. His ideas were always excellent and he helped us save some money by showing how he could accomodate our needs with stock cabinets and some 'customizing.' During the work, he was very diligent in arriving on time, working through lunch if needed and accomodating our schedule. He always kept the work areas neat, cleaned up after himself daily, and minimized any mess and inconvenience. At the end we were extremely satisfied with his work, and especially pleased with his professional attitude, work ethic and craftsmanship. Michael was so diligent that he actually came back to make some corrections to the flooring installation that did not satisfy him. It satisfied us, but it didn't meet his personal standards and he made it right without asking. That type of service attitude just isn't found in most companies.
